Most of these companies and products contain palm oil derivatives so as a Palm Oil Free Vegan I wont use any of them. I prefer to use the companies who are doing the right thing and refraining from including palm oil and it's derivatives in their products. IT'S TIME HAS NOT COME WITH THESES PRODUCTS AS PALM OIL RAPES THE RAINFOREST AND ALL THE MANY 1000'S OF SPECIES OF FLORA & FAUNA THAT RESIDE WITHIN. Bev Luff

VEGANISM; OUR NEXT STEP

Veganism is an ethical position; a way of life showing basic respect to all animals; opposing exploitation, objectification, enslavement, sexual violation (breeding / inseminating), and the violent assault of animals. Vegans don't buy animal-tested products, nor products or practices that exploit animals for food, clothing, entertainment, toiletries, etc. Vegan living is a social justice issue that holds far-reaching sociological and environmental benefits. I'm a vegan of 38 years. We can live vegan, so we should. All animals, because they are feeling and conscious, can suffer, and want to live. Therefor, they deserve the birth-right not to be violently assaulted and used like they are a thing, rather than the someone they truly are.
